I hate how my mom suddenly became too proactive in the college application process. Mom, I don’t think I need you to doublecheck my RUTGERS application because they will, undoubtedly, ACCEPT ME. I think she too caught up Rutger because of the prospect that Rutgers is CHEAP and, to us CHINESE, cheap = *A*

My mom finally gets the picture but thinks that I think that I have ‘all the time in the world’. Sheesh. I don’t. I’m just taking so long on my Rutgers (or Rut-gest-er as she calls it) personal essay because she’s smothering just makes me want to do it LESS. And quite badgering me about transcripts and etc. IT. IS. NOT. HELPING. (It’s just making my cancer-spreading, mutation-causing atomic explosion more inevitable by the minute. So, I’m sorry for the leukemia or the extra arm. Blame MY MOTHER).

Thank you father for making me look shallow by
1) saying “OH HER (my) FAVORITE MUSEUM IS THE FASHION MUSEUM BECAUSE SHE (I) LIKES FASHION.” as we tried to name NYC museums for our (Asian…specifically Chinese) family friends when a) it’s specifically “the museum at FIT” b) FIT does not, despite its name, only focus on fashion c) I went there once because of an exhibit I wanted to see d) I like other museums better yet e) making my interests sound materialistic (that’s a lot of points)
2) pointing out HOW MANY SHOES there were below the fish tank when a) I don’t believe I have an extreme amount of shoes and b) the total cost of all those shoes are less than a pair of uggs
For THIS

WHERE CAN I GET IT?
Hashima Island in Japan.
(photo by Sébastien Tixier)This island is one among 505 uninhabited islands in the Nagasaki Prefecture of Japan, about 15 kilometers from Nagasaki itself. It is also known as Gunkanjima or Battleship Island thanks to its skyline. Mitsubishi bought the island in 1890 to begin a project to retrieve coal from the bottom of the sea. In 1916 they began building concrete apartment blocks to accomodate the workers and protect them from hurricanes.
In the 1960’s petroleum replaced coal in Japan, forcing all coal mines to close including the Hashima Island. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1976. Since then the island has been abondoned and access to it has been prohibited.
On April 22, 2009 visits to the island have been re-opened for the public.
I feel like rocking back and forth and tugging my hair like a psych ward patient because I love this so much (and I want to be there)
Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican majority as it now moves to change abortion law.
For years, federal laws restricting the use of government funds to pay for abortions have included exemptions for pregnancies resulting from rape…
